Will The USSR Permit Jews Tb^migrate To The US?

Will the Soviet government ¦permit its, Jews to- be reunited with their relatives in the United States along the same ''1*^ ^s the. reunification d&Soviet Jews ' with their relatives iii ilsrael .now taking place in a very limited way? Ihis questibh is now. I)eihg posed, following the statement by Attorney Genoral John Mitchell that the US will admit Soviet Jews as refugi^es under the "parole procedure" if the Moscow government per¬ mits their departure. It was due. to quiet negotiations conducted in Washington by
Max M. Fisher, president of the Council of Jewish Federations and Wielfare Funds, that the Mitchell statement came about.
In his negotiations, Fislier bad the full backing of major Jewish orgapizatiohs in. this country and actedloh theif behalf. Prior to/the Mitchell statement/^the problem of reuniting Soviet Jews with their families in
Under international obligations signed by the Soviet government, the Kremlin cannot ignore reunification of families, if proper afficavits—known in ""tussia as "Vysovs"—are sent by persons in the United istates to relatives in the Soviet Union.
However, it can refuse an exit permit to'the concerned Soviet Jew under various
conflicts of opinion between the Egyptian, and Soviet leaders, some of which remained unresolved. They pointed out that the com¬ munique 6'fered no en¬ dorsement of Sadi'!' recent . proclamation: that i VJ i will be the year of deci!-!"n with Israel although Uf Egyptian President rcilcri.ted that view while he was in . Moscow. Also Sadat had to, ¦ put i;i.<' signature to paragraphs in the joint comii. unique which he ¦canqot have'liked, such as . the denunciation of aiiti- Communist. and anti-Soviet activities in the Arab world, the observers said.
Targets of that part of the comniunique were obviously President Numejri of Sudan who put down a pro- (vommunist coup last August and Col. Muamnier Qadhafi, leader of Libya's ruling military junta who has been persistently making anti- Communist pronoun¬ cements.
In return for the adherence of Egypt to Socialist and Communist principles, Sadat received Russian assurances applications for exit permits for many ' inonths, if not years. It can also use various, methods to "convince" the concerned aH>licapt that he should withdralw his ap¬ plication. ' In the case of emigration of relatives to Israel—as'is the case also of emigration of Greek Soviet citizens who. Moscow per¬ mits quietly to leave for Greece—the explanation

of further military aid. The communique spoke pf coordinated steps, designed to improve Egypt's military ability which means more
arms from Russia though it did not specify whether Egypt would get the ofr tensive weapons it has'been clamoring for.
